A Tight Spot

Last week was a tough one trying to get Harlequin&Lionhead Rose collection ready for the Astoria Market (also changing market last minute from Brooklyn to Queens!). But it helps a little on this week hopefully so I can start working on a new collection to be added to the roster for Dekalb Market.

I am taking a little breather today to clean up slightly around the house. But tomorrow onward will be another tough 2 weeks to catch all the deadlines for Dekalb on Aug 20.

Given the experience of last week, I think I may need to bring some Bunnies Can Dream items for the 20th craft show. It is just really hard to get stuff done without having a full studio set up at home. Traveling to the city or 3rd Ward takes up 2 hours of my time already in a day. And the cost of production goes up as well with me having to pay an hourly cost for the studio.

It is just not easy to run your own business, not to say to run your own production as well. In a way, I think it was good that I didn't commit to the Union Sq holiday market after all.

I hope I can do better on my inventory for the coming show. I will need every ounce of my energy in the next 11 days.

About My Jewelry

Let me share with you a little story...

Little bunnies have dreams of various sorts.

Dreams of becoming a fish in the arabian sea and be free, dreams of delicious apples, berries, and candies, dreams of laying low in the grassland among flowers, dreams of vibrant colors, flickering lights and exotic shapes.

These are the yummy dreams of 3 little bunnies. Happy thoughts that bring a smile on their faces.

I guess that's why bunnies have little "V" mouths?

My rabbits are my muses. I want to create jewelry that are as delicate and complex as bunnies - critters that everyone thinks are so simple and docile but full of sentiments. My jewelry captures the dreams of a house bunny, running wild in imagination. That's why my line of jewelry is called "Bunnies can dream."

I use semi-precious gemstones mostly - the designs are possible for customization (e.g., if you want a different kind of stone/metal combination) but I would need to see if I can get hold of the materials you are looking for. Feel free to drop me a request and I'll discuss with you more on how we can create your ideal piece together!

I also have 2 other stores.

Harlequin&Lionhead features fashion jewelry in sterling silver and gold plating. It is where my metal-smithing work goes to.

Moldy Cupcakes is a pet project because I'm too in love with my fabric and I like making little things with them.

Bunnies Can Dream and Harlequin&Lionhead are designed and created by Debbie Liu. For consignment and inquiry, email bunnynikisha@yahoo.com
